We’re looking for skilled CNC Setup Machinists (Mills or Lathes) ready to take on complex, tight-tolerance parts — or level up into 5-axis and multi-axis machining with hands-on training. What You’ll Do Set up and operate CNC mills or lathes to produce aerospace-grade components. Work with 3- to 5-axis DMG Mori mills (Siemens 840D) or multi-axis lathes (live tooling, sub-spindles, c/y axis). Interpret G-code or conversational programs, align fixtures and tooling, and verify dimensions. Run first-piece inspections and maintain 5S and safety standards.

Strong blueprint reading, GD&T, and measurement skills. Experience holding tolerances within ±0.0002"–0.0005". Familiarity with Siemens, Fanuc, or OSP controls (a plus). High school diploma or GED.

NIMS or GD&T certifications, or Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. Not 5-Axis Yet?
